BrowserStack
Mar, 2026 - Present 7 months
    Architected an intelligent AI agent classification and dynamic routing engine that analyzes trace outputs to categorize agent behavior, offloading low-complexity tasks to lightweight models or deterministic code paths to reduce LLM API calls, inference costs, and SLA latency. Established a standardized error taxonomy across AI evaluation services, enabling systematic failure classification and reducing root-cause analysis time across distributed agent workflows. Engineered an automated integration test suite using Vitest across multi-service evaluation boundaries, improving release confidence and eliminating regressions in production releases. Partnered directly with enterprise clients to design and deploy end-to-end LLM evaluation pipelines for production applications, aligning platform capabilities with client reliability standards. Collaborated cross-functionally with product and platform engineering teams to integrate AI evaluation tooling and real-time observability features into client production environments.
